Welcome to the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures & Cultures

"Lead through Languages"

Welcome to the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at The Citadel, where our faculty is dedicated to offer our young men and women knowledge of language and culture which is now a fundamental and essential tool on the road to leadership and success. Whichever career our graduates will follow an adequate level of fluency in a foreign language will be multi-folded. Our global community has constant growing needs for competent people able to express themselves in more than one language, which of course means brighter profiles at hiring times as well as greater financial earnings (click here for benefits). As a result, Citadel students are declaring language majors and minors in record numbers.

Our faculty in each respective section (Chinese, French, German and Spanish) earned a reputation for representing some of the Southeast's elite, many of whom reached international prominence and distinction in their fields. Our professors are all equally dedicated to offer a fresh and modern perspective on cross-cultural comparisons which will enrich our students' vision of the world. Their pedagogical expertise will enable cadets and graduate students alike to discover a new reality through linguistic differences. But our students remain the faculty's first focal point. The common goals of our professors and undergraduates are reflected in some of the following student accomplishments:

During the academic year and for college credit, qualifying Spanish majors and minors may take advantage of local internships to gain practical experience with the Spanish language. Past internships have included the Medical University of South Carolina, real estate companies, elementary schools and local television.

On behalf of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, I gladly invite all Citadel students to embark on a linguistic and cultural adventure which will translate into a remarkable benefit for their future profession.

Sincerely yours,

Guy D. Toubiana, Ph.D. Professor of French
